So Inappropriately Hot Foreign Wife and I went to a rodeo last night. It was AWESOME. Start to finish an absolute blast. You should go.
I absolutely had an 'oh wow' moment, too, along with lots of fun. At the intro, the MC came out, warmed the crowd up, then led a prayer, after, when all the riders and participants take the field, there was a troupe of female trick riders, all decked out, carrying huge American flags, while Lee Greenwood's 'Proud to be an American' blasted out. I looked over to see my wife fairly misty. She hadn't seen a lot of overt shows of patriotism and appreciation for our country, an as someone who isn't from here, she knows better than most why we should be so proud of our nation.
Anyways, it was a blast, from the bull riding, barrel racing, roping and the kids events too. Seeing a bunch of 5 year olds riding bucking sheep was cute AF, and the pre-teen girls competing in barrel racing was amazing- those kids were skilled as hell. Seeing such tiny people showing off crazy skill like that is impressive as hell.
